(11,605 posts)I posted a very positive post about Hillary the other night.
Are we censoring polls to only the ones we like now? Isn't that what right wing sites did in 2012? Either ignore or "unskew" polls they didn't like. How did that work out for them?

(1,493 posts)and literally trying to sink Hillary. This is downright shameful. I guess they really want this d*ckhead to run our country. I am so beyond pissed off at them for what they are doing. Aiding and abetting a criminal to run our country.

Like all Republican presidents, he WILL crash the economy and likely sooner rather than later in this case and in a way that will make W's mismanagement look an economic boom.
That's assuming we're not all dead because he's started a nuclear war. A distinct possibility.
I still don't think he's going to win though.

(11,605 posts)The election is still 2 months away! A lot can happen in a week, as this past week has shown.
I am nervous but you seem ready to give up.
Hillary doesn't even need Ohio and Florida to win.
I agree that the trends are concerning, but the momentum will probably shift back and forth many times between now and November 8.
I won't call you a troll because you have over 700 posts, but your willingness to give up so easily is rather disturbing.

(39,374 posts)The scary thing is it might not matter.
HRC has some selling to do. You don't drive turnout by scaring people about the other guy. People need to have a sense of what they get in return for your presidency. The convention was strong in that respect, but the campaign has spent the last weeks overly focused on Trump's negatives, culminating with the basket gaffe. If she wants to roll in the mud with Donald until November nothing would please him more.

I'll probably get banned for that, as this site is very authoritarian in their messag and a Hillary supporter since she became a politician. But, it is clear that she is not a good campaigner. I'll probably get banned for that, as this site is very authoritarian in their methods. But, she blew what was a very positive convention by retreating into the shadow and allowing the media in the Republican to paint the picture of the campaign.
I do believe she'll still win the election. But, it is going to be a lot closer than it needed to be and that is going to cost the Democrats a chance at the house and likely at the Senate.
